More than 180,000 people voted over the weekend in Georgia counties that opened their polls. The vast majority of people voted in-person, putting both enthusiasm and long lines on full display. #gapol #gasen

Some interesting breakdown of who voted so far from @GaSecofState’s office.

46% of voters are Black
57% of voters female
13% of voters are 18-29

This reflects that the counties that held early voting so far are more diverse, younger and urban. Will be interesting to see if it continues as mandatory early voting in all counties begins today. #gapol

Also, per @gtryan, about 6% of people who’ve voted so far in the runoff didn’t vote in the ‘22 midterm. That group leans younger and more of color than the general electorate. #gapol

And worth noting that in Georgia’s 2020-21 runoff, +200,000 people submitted a mail ballot by the first day of early voting alone. As of this morning, counties have received about 15,000 of them. Hearing from many voters it’s been a slog to even request. #gapol
